What it is
Husqvarna XP is the brand’s synthetic performance two-stroke oil, in a 1 litre bottle, part number 578 03 70-03. The Amazon.co.uk listing gives few technical details, and when we checked in October 2026 it couldn’t be dispatched to our location, so a Husqvarna dealer may be the easier source.
Why synthetic?
Synthetic two-stroke oils generally burn cleaner and leave fewer carbon deposits on the piston, exhaust port and spark plug than mineral oils — useful on machines that work hard for long spells. For occasional use, a good part-synthetic like Castrol POWER1 2T does the job for less.
How to use it
Mix at the ratio in your manual — usually 1:50, which is 20 ml of oil per litre of petrol. Use fresh unleaded petrol, ideally E5, and shake the can before every refill. Exact amounts are in our 2-stroke fuel ratio chart, and a mixing bottle makes it foolproof. Don’t use it in four-stroke engines.
Alternatives
Stihl HP is the Stihl equivalent; Aspen 2 avoids mixing altogether. Compare them in the best 2-stroke oil and fuel.
